Actor Aaron Paul switches on your Xbox One

By FIN Staff / 13 June 2014

It’s not every day that an actor speaking on TV in an advert will force people’s consoles to turn on, but that’s exactly what’s happening this week.

Microsoft’s new Xbox One ad featuring Aaron Paul makes a specific command that is recognised by the voice sensor on the Xbox One. During the ad, the actor says the words ‘Xbox on’. Immediately it turns on people’s Xbox One without their consent.

Users have started to complain that every time the advert plays on TV, their consoles turn on, and other things turn off on their TVs.
